With the improvement of agricultural production conditions and the implementation of preferential policies for farmers, agriculture has been integrated with more and more modern technologies, among which the development of the “agricultural light complementary” project is particularly prominent. Today, we will roughly understand it from the following three aspects.
What is complementary agriculture and photovoltaic?
The concept of “agricultural photovoltaic complementary”, also known as photovoltaic agriculture, is a new model of industrial coordinated green development that utilizes land in a three-dimensional and comprehensive manner without changing the nature of the land, generates electricity from photovoltaic panels above, and takes into account agricultural production under the photovoltaic panels. It is also a new measure to build a good ecological environment.
Among them, solar photovoltaic power generation uses clean and efficient green new energy, and promoting the sustainable development of new energy has been a top priority for the country in recent years.
The main modes of agricultural and photovoltaic complementary photovoltaics: Currently, there are four main modes of agricultural and photovoltaic complementary photovoltaics: photovoltaic planting, photovoltaic aquaculture, photovoltaic water conservancy, and photovoltaic villages, which are further divided into colony photovoltaics, fishery photovoltaics, vegetable (fruit) photovoltaics, livestock (animal husbandry) photovoltaics, forest photovoltaics, pharmaceutical photovoltaics, ecological photovoltaics, and water conservancy photovoltaics.
In the current wave of rapid development in the photovoltaic industry, photovoltaic agriculture plays an important role and has broad development prospects.
The advantages of agricultural photovoltaics are as follows:
1. To meet the needs of crop growth, different light waves are required for crop growth and photovoltaic power generation. Agricultural photovoltaics complementary power stations can achieve both power generation and planting.
Each power station can adopt different installed capacity designs based on the light demand of different crops to meet the light demand of plant photosynthesis.
2. Improve production efficiency and increase agricultural returns. The agricultural photovoltaic complementary system can use photovoltaic power generation and mechanical farming technology to reduce production costs while improving production efficiency.
The combination of agriculture and photovoltaic power generation not only solves the power supply problem required for water intake and irrigation machinery, avoids land competition between the photovoltaic industry and agriculture, but also sells the excess electricity to the national power grid, bringing in additional power generation income and increasing agricultural profits.
3. No pollution, zero emissions, and optimized crop growth environment. The agricultural photovoltaic complementary system has the characteristics of pollution-free and zero emissions in photovoltaic power generation, which is green and environmentally friendly. It not only has the ability to generate electricity, but also provides a suitable growth environment for crops, edible fungi, and animal husbandry.
4. Improve land use efficiency and reduce the cost of the photovoltaic industry.
The traditional method of constructing photovoltaic power stations is generally built on industrial land, with relatively high costs. The use of the “agricultural solar complementary” project has improved land use efficiency while also in line with the trend of green and environmentally friendly agriculture advocated by the country.
